+
+ * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
+ that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
+ never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
+ nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
+ not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)

+
+ * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
+ (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
+ (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
+ add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
+ converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
+ contain.
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
+ declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
+ replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
+ on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
+
+ * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
+ multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
+ Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
+
+ * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
+ metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
+ point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
+ user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
+
+ * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
+ class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
+ Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
+ report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.

+ Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
+ common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
+ for more details. (Dave Rolsky)

+ return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an

+ modifier sugar functions. (doy)
+
+ * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
+ requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
+ something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
+ KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
+
+ * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
+ package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
+ warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
+ any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
+ only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
+ gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
+ deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
+ or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
+ #59613. (Dave Rolsky)

+1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
+ "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
+ but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
+
+ * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
+ and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
+ these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
+ the attribute.
+
+ * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
+ generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
+ rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
+
+ * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
+ determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
+ to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
+
+ * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
+ class when you "use Moose". (doy)
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
+ be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
+ native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
+
+ * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
+ attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
+ reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
+ MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
+
+ * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
+ was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
+ value is a reference.
+
+ * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
+ based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
+
+1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
+ a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
+ MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
+ -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
+ the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
+ Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
+ much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
+ uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
+
+1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
+
+ * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
+ for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
+ code. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
+ which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
+
+ * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
+ constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
+ returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
+ always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
+ #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
+ undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
+ the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
+ to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
+
+1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
+ issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
+
+ * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
+
+ * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.

+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
+
+1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
+ constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
+ warning. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
+ overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
+ to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
+ allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
+
+ * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
+ Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
+ repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
+ these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
+ be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
+ Rolsky).
+
+ [NEW FEATURES]
+
+ * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
+ Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
+ explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
+ generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
+ safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
+ inlinable. (doy)
+
+ * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
+ constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
+ function (not just method). (doy)
+
+ [OTHER]
+
+ * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
+ and aren't easily installable/testable.
+
+1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
+ to be overridden more easily (doy).
+
+1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
+ classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
+
+1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
+
+ [NEW FEATURES]
+
+ * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
+ more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
+ constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
